Everybody's changing

This is not about chameleons.
Its about birds of a feather
And the cat who forgot how to meaow.

Its not about the yuppie who hit the big time
Nor the forgotten celeb in rehab
Neither is it about you or me
Just dogs of war. Thats all.

Do I detect a flicker of a smile
Gone wrong
That slight frown
Discerning crows feet
Clouding a stormy look
Cloaked in vagueness
A ruse for remembrance.

Barometers,weather vanes
Dismembered walls
Lost literature.
the list goes on-

and people
what of them

running to stand still
doing what they don't do best
making it,breaking it
staking it,faking it
taking it

crack or crackers?
